"My policy has been, and will continue to be, while I have the honor to remain in the administration of the government, to be upon friendly terms with, but independent of, all the nations of the earth. To share in the broils of none. To fulfil our own engagements. To supply the wants, and be carriers for them all: Being thoroughly convinced that it is our policy and interest to do so." ~ George Washington

Immigration, United States Citizens, and Freedom

"Back in the 1990s, I would have said that the so-called War on Drugs was by far the most significant threat to freedom in the United States. Then came the so-called War on Terror that quickly escalated and became an obvious challenger for that title, integrating the War on Drugs into a newer and scarier threat. But it was not until the last few years that I realized that, increasingly, anti-immigration policy is right up there with those two."
